As early as 1810, this cotton fabric came from Tahiti and left its impressions on many artists and traveled royalty. French painter Paul Gauguin painted many of his primitive lifestyle pieces with women draped in the bold and colorful pareos. As a forerunner to the traditional tapa cloth, pareo made its way to the shores of the Hawaiian islands in the early 1930s, and its unique hand painted likeness continues in this Duke's Pareo design, with subtle pineapple and floral imagery. Sewn with the reverse side for a vintage look.

Duke’s Pareo represents the 1960s, when the aloha shirt became part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi and beyond. As workplaces began embracing aloha attire, it moved from a resort novelty to an expression of island identity—worn from the office in Downtown Honolulu to evenings out. Worn prominently by the world-renowned surf ambassador, Duke Kahanamoku, the print became part of a broader shift toward relaxed, island-informed style.

One of Kahala’s most recognizable designs, Duke’s Pareo is recognized for its bold scale and pared-back color. This 90th Anniversary edition revisits the original print, now printed on the face of the fabric. Crafted in our signature cotton broadcloth using discharge printing for rich color and a soft hand, it’s finished with vintage-inspired details including a classic collar, French front, matched pocket, and coconut buttons. Made in Hawaiʻi and offered in Black and our signature Red.
